Shake was an image
compositing package used in the
post-production industry. Shake was widely used in
visual effects and
digital compositing for film, video and commercials. Shake exposed its
node graph architecture graphically. It enabled complex image processing sequences to be designed through the connection of effects "nodes" in a graphical workflow interface. This type of compositing interface allowed great flexibility, including the ability to modify the parameters of an earlier image processing step "in context" (while viewing the final
composite). Many other compositing packages, such as
Blender,
eyeon Fusion,
Nuke and
Cineon, also used a similar node-based approach.
